[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Wow, what is this? Windows Mobile 6.5? Weird that there would be a size limit on ringtones. I still remember installing a cab to lift the ringtone size limit on my old blackjack II :D.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
Yea there is a limit. Let's say you go to your playlist and try to set a song to a ringtone it gives that annoying 300kb limit size if the file you are trying to assign is larger than that.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Tx Redneck:
It's att's attempt to get you to buy ringtones.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KCD:
I just tried the old work around and it works...

Create a new folder on your sd card that contains the following folders:

media/audio/notifications/ringtones/alarms

Copy the files you want to use into this alarms and restart the phone. The added files should show up in your ringtones.

sweet thanks guys, i remember the old cab file to on my samsung jack lol i figured they would of gotten rid of this dumb crap by now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Nick12484:
I noticed this too. I used to make ringtones in the music player with the ringtone trimmer app, but you can't even do that now. Ringtone trimmer is in the system folder, but no dice. I just downloaded an app that would let me trim my own ringtones for now...

EDIT: Just noticed that if you go into phone ringtone in the sound settings and click "New Ringtone" you can set a whole song as a ringtone. You just can't do it from the music app....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Tcndeb:
on the internal or external sd card?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bobinh2otown:
No Work around needed fellas, Go to the Personalize feature and then go to ringtone, when your on that that screen click new ringtone and find the one you want thats placed within the sd drive. Even within contacts when you select a ringtone for contact if you have Es file explore loaded and choose that to open the app you can select any song you want for each contact.

No work arounds, no cabs , just es file explorer and then selecting under personalize or People under apps.
[Acer Iconia A500] Messatsu:
Hello,

Here's my situation, I want the original resolution of my movies in order to watch movies thanks to the hdmi output on my 40' Sharp, but I have lot of lag with 1080p movies (no lag with 720p movies with original resolution).

Is the Iconia Tab A500 capable of that ? I'm using Dice Player with Thor Rom v14.2.

Thank you !
[Acer Iconia A500] qhorque:
It "might be". According to Acer, the device is capable of porting 1080p to a TV via HDMI but there are plenty of sites out on the web stating it will require a patch that Acer has not provided. Also, the Tegra 2 processor should process 1080p but that too might be questionable. There are also other sites that discuss this too.

So, it should be capable, might be able to, but likely might not as well.

Good discussion over in the General forum if you want to read that.
[Acer Iconia A500] Messatsu:
Thank you, i'm wondering if overclocking my Iconia Tab A500 could be usefull for this problem...
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
Possibly not. Probably, it`s not an issue related to the processor.

As our colleague said above, it requires a patch which wasn't released by Acer.
[Acer Iconia A500] flatulent-kitten:
I've been scouring looking for something to help me with video performance, and this actually makes me think I should wait before I try overclocking. Thank you for saving me from a potentially horrible experience.
[Acer Iconia A500] xST4T1K:
Nothing wrong with overclocking at all, I notice a way better experience on my tab oc'd to 1.6, but as they said above, and I can tell you from my own experience that even oc'd 1080p will still lag on the a500. If battery life is a priority to you stay away from ocing, and be sure to stability test if you decide to do so.
[Acer Iconia A500] MrWareWolf:
even playing 720p is too laggy for my a500

If you can get 720p files to play, consider yourself lucky. I have tried every single player I could find, and none can reliably play 720p mkv files. bsplayer and mirage beta are close, but still not watchable... dice was ok, but no better than the rest, from my experience...
[Motorola Droid 3] jorgonv:
On motorola upgrade page (https://supportforums.motorola.com/community/manager/softwareupgrades)

Looks like we might not get official ICS. Let's go CM9!:D
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Further evidence that the D3 was released so they could use Droid 4(g)... so retarded. Thanks for the shaft, moto.
[Motorola Droid 3] force1stiptopped:
How does this prove there will be no ics for the D3?
[Motorola Droid 3] jellydroid13:
I honestly wouldn't mind if they just unlocked our bootloader or gave us a better kernal
[Motorola Droid 3] jorgonv:
Because it is a list of current phones that will be upgraded. The D3 is a current phone that is not listed, which means it will most likely not be getting an upgrade. However, no one knows for sure
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
I'm not sure it indicates anything. The D3 isn't listed in the list below either where all of the other phones are.
[Motorola Droid 3] force1stiptopped:
This was my thought.. that top banner of text seems as more of a teaser for those who just purchased their bionic and razr to silence the people worried if their recently purchased phone is going to receive android 4.0.

The Droid 3 isn't listed on the page at all and obviously it exists.. so I don't think that upgrade page means a thing. I would assume those would just be the first to get it then other phones that are capable would have 4.0 implemented. Since the D3 is so similar, I doubt the bionic will receive 4.0 without the D3 being considered..
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
http://phandroid.com/2011/10/24/mot...-release-beginning-with-razr-bionic-and-xoom/

A few sites(check google) say that these lists are just motorola confirming which phones will get ics over the next few weels starting with the razr, bionic and xoom.
[Motorola Droid 3] d7benjamin:
Has anyone noticed that only verizon moto phones are listed? That cannot be a complete list, what about the photon? The atrix 2? I highly doubt this is a complete list of devices that can be upgraded. This is just for hype, companies like to do this so people buy their phones for the upgrade. If this is the complete list, our beloved Droid 3 has booted ICS already so there is no need to worry.
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
I'm probably going to thoroughly ***** a verizon rep out. I'm not big on ICS to be honest but the fact that they dropped this, then like 10 other phones in the few months following is terrible business practicing. My phone shouldn't be obsolete in 2 weeks.

I may just drop Verizon and goto Sprint while it's still got unlimited data. Tho that would probably leave me with $600 in termination fees. Good thing I got credit growing from things bigger than Verizon?
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
Page obviously needs an update on all the new phones, looks like it's 6+ months out of date so it has no real relevant information for new phones at all.

We will more then likely get ICS.

-smc
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
That's technology. You don't wanna be outdated get an iPhone. With the overclocks, custom ROMs, Hash working on ICS, and everything, why wouldn't our phone keep up? I mean it's got the hardware to be current for a while minus 4G.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sfsilicon:
Has anyone tried out the T989 replacement batteries from Acesoft or 1950 mAh China OEMs on eBay? I try to avoid China vendors and wait for US seller so I can dispute the sale if their mAh claims are way off.

From the US there seems to be several vendors selling Acesoft 1970 mAh batteries. No individual batteries, just bundles so far

1 Battery and charger ~$27

2 Batteries + charger ~$40

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...battery&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

You can also get them on Amazon for about the same price

Now in this post it was hinted that the Infuse batteries would fit in the T989. If this is the case, you can get 2 batteries for $30 from here.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B005FD3LM6/electronicblogall-20

The China OEM 1950mAh batteries are $3.70 a pop. Might be better to get 6 of these vs 1 Acesoft one.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...acesoft&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

Before writing this post, I was tending to get the Acesoft batteries, but given how cheap the China OEMs are I might just get 4 of those and wait for the Acesoft ones to get cheaper.

If anyone has experience with either batteries please post here. I'd also like to hear from anyone who is using an Infuse battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
just so you know, those batteries does not include NFC they are just plain batteries

and even though they say 1970 mAh, i don't think they are really that high, they will most likely be around the 1650 mAh area in actual use.

buyers beware ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sfsilicon:
Not really worried about NFC. Haven't used it yet. I'm looking for extra batteries for longer trips (e.g. flight to Asia), where I'm using the phone as a video or audio player.

I wouldn't mind a battery for $3.70 with 89% of the capacity of an original one. If anyone has bought either battery I'd like to hear about your experiences.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
in that case it's all good, go for it

i use those china made after market quite often on all my devices, and they do work good, just don't expect the advertised capacity :D

i'll use the included wall charger to charge them just in case ;)

Please go to Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Display -> Automatic Backlight -> Edit Other Levels...

Below is a screenshot of the settings I'm using. This is much easier on the eyes during the night, as I found the stock settings to be too bright. This also improves battery life.

Play around with the other settings in the previous window like Sample Interval ( 1 second) and screen dim level (1).

Like I said this is what has worked best for me. If it is too dark simply increase the numbers as needed.

If this was helpful don't forget to hit the Thanks button! Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
I like my screen about as dark as I can get it, before CM I used SuperDim to get my screen dark. I've had my screen dim level set to 6 ever since flashing CM, but never played with those setting cause I wasn't sure how to work them. I set mine exactly like yours. My question is do the "other levels" only kick in if you are using automatic brightness?
[Atrix 4G General] g2tegg:
My atrix has the automatic settings selected, then I customized the light levels under CM7. Seems to work smooth as well. That's what bothers me the most with the SG2. Half the time when i turn the screen on its dark for about 10 seconds (and in direct sunlight you can't see anything on the screen) before the phone realizes the light settings and adjusts.

Just play around with the settings. Hold your finger over the light sensor and watch the numbers drop.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Which version of CM are you running? On the most recent stable build Ba2Tf (IIRC) the top two in the second editable column can't be changed from their defalt 24/48 values...?
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
You have to change the dim level to 1 before you can set those values that low.
[Atrix 4G General] xateeq:
I applied all the settings and my phone screen didnt changed a bit (i am already using lowest screen brightness from display settings) should i reboot or what ?

Edit: Rebooted and no change :D

Edit 2:Screen dim is working amazingly, all i want is to lower the actual screen brightness, that hurt my eyes when i wake up and start reading sms :(

Edit 3: just edit the settings and put ur phone to auto brightness, it should work. I was using my phone all the way lowest brightness 24-7 manualy.

My apologies
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
@peaster111...

or any brave soul willing to risk their phone...

There are one or two additional modems that may be obtained for our phones, but there is some risk involved. There have been three leaked versions of the stock firmware so far, UCKJ1 and UCKJ2 in addition to the latest JCKJ4. All three of these were posted by designgears on the RootzWiki developers forum, and two of them here on xda in the general forum. UCKJ2, and probably UCKJ1 as well, were posted as Odin3 one-click downloaders containing alternative bootloaders along with the firmware and modems.

Warning: One, and probably both, of these one-click downloaders contain modified secondary bootloaders that prevent the use of the jig to reset the flash counter. After flashing these leaks, it would be necessary to flash back the original secondary bootloader posted by ach1701. There is a certain amount of risk involved in flashing bootloaders, and for various reasons, neither myself nor RockRatt has been willing to put our phones at risk.

To extract these modems, it would be necessary to install the leaks on your phone, then use adb or terminal emulator to extract the modem.bin file, return your phone to it's current state, perhaps with a nandroid backup, and then flash back the original secondary bootloader. Someone with a development phone may be more willing to risk this.

The specific directions to do the extraction can be found in this post.

Edit (8th December 2011): With the new tool "Mobile Odin", it is now possible to flash the Odin One-Click Downloader executable files safely without flashing the jig disabled secondary bootloader. Mobile Odin cowardly refuses to flash PIT, IBL/PBL, SBL, or EFS, even if present in the files. Additionally, after all of the available partitions have been loaded, any except Kernel and System can be cleared before flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Peaster111:

My end result I think is faster data.

For those of us still learning about all this, a few questions:

#1 - Do these terms refer to the same thing? modem, radio, baseband

#2 - What does a "good modem" affect? both battery and data speed or just data speed? Does it affect anything else?

#3 - Does the best fit for any particular phone depend? the ROM or the area of the country or something else?

TIA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
1. Yes

2. Signal strength and data speeds (for wifi as well). Improved signal strength leads to better battery life, so it affects that too. Nothing else comes to mind. I'm sure someone else will chime in.

3. Best fit depends on the area. Even down to the neighborhood and specific device in my opinion. A modem that works amazingly well for someone else may be horrendous for you; you just have to give it a run.
